I still think it’s coming in the first half of January. It is actually common for the models to flirt with the idea then kick the can down the road a bit before finally calling for snow and cold and sticking with that story. Late December was always on the early side for a traditional post-pineap-a-looza cold snap.
It's called clown range for a reason.

I’ve mostly given that one up. It’s better here. Not as busy or famous or popular, but still better.

Sort of like Canada as a whole. 8-)

Honestly, nothing seems to suggest any decrease of activity upstream to allow for that N Pac block to broaden. That said, one of those troughs is bound to dig further east and you don't need much cold air this time of year to get some lowland snow.

Euro gives hope we can avoid the +12C southerly winds on xmas eve. Instead, it gives us +4C showers :thumbup:

Yep. Models look horrific again. Euro will likely cave today. It was a nice try.

Prolly not iibh. It was looking like another small victory, then like a brutal loss, now back to a less severe beating :whack: :whack: lol. If it was hockey, it would be like down 5-1 with 6 minutes left in the game :think:
